My physics professor gave us an extended version of coulombs law which includes terms to account for moving charges. He then used (or rather compared) this law to the Lorentz force equation to give us a feel for the electrical forces generated by moving charges as he introduced us to magnetism. Does anyone know where I can find more information regarding this following equation (i.e. its derivations, uses, limitations, etc.)
[tex] F_{on 2 by 1} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}} \frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}[ \widehat{r} + \frac{1}{c^{2}} \cdot \vec{v_{2}} \times ( \vec{v_{1}} \times \widehat{r})][/tex]
